Schools can donate old clothes and toys or money for food supplies. Teachers can also organise a ball or a bazaar or any other fund-raising event. Older students can provide younger refugee children with lessons in Greek so they can be faster adapted in the new environment -
The locals will be benefited by learning the stories of refugees and they will become aware of the trageties that these people were going through. This way, they will be more ready to help them and find ways to ease their pain. The community will also be benefited because of the fact that refugees will work as manpower in local shops and the staff will be more.
